17 days post op

[littlemissthin]

Hey guys I'm 27 days post op an I feel absolutely fine, no pain just aware of the port being there, does any one know if I'm ok to start exercising?? Say just slow jogging? And few weights on ma arms?? Or should I wait a bit longer?? Xxx

I think gentle cardio is ok, I did keTtlebell before op but nurse told me to wait 8 weeks post op to start anything involving weights?

Speak to your providor for the best advice x

This was the info I was given by my provider

Gentle walking almost immediately and then gradually increase duration of daily walking up to 30 mins over the next 7-10 days. Swimming and low-intensity gym activities (not sit-ups) can be resumed 2-3 weeks after surgery, assuming wounds are fully healed.

I went back to Spin after 14 days, not a good idea, then I went back properly after 5 weeks, so much more comfortable.

I went back to jogging slowly and short distance after 3 weeks and felt ok.

Still not back on weights or anything involving tummy crunches etc.

If in doubt wait a bit!
